Our focus is on developing solutions that address leading causes of death and hospitalization due to heart disease.\n\nOur first product -- funded by Google Ventures and Third Rock Ventures -- aims to redefine treatment for sudden cardiac death, a disease that claims over 300,000 lives in the US every year. \n\nWe are a team of dedicated professionals passionate about improving and saving the lives of patients. Our team has a broad set of experiences from successful start-ups like iRhythm to top medical device companies like Boston Scientific, Medtronic, St. Jude and Abbott.\n\nCome join our growing team if you are interested in making a real difference in patients' lives and shaping the future of med tech.
